    4/4 @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch #Overwatch2 Blizzard REALLY need to get their act together... They have exacerbated every issue which Overwatch 1 had and removed many of the things which were working. I really miss the OW 1 QP games, people tried, didn't leave and so on...

  • Hutaosbebe HaLa abdallah (@Hutaosbebe) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Overwatch.. I have watched a minimum of 8 hours and got nothing from the drops I made sure three times before watching that I linked my twitch to battle net account can you please do anything to help or inform me if you are fimiliar with this problem

  • ItszuBot Itszu Bot (@ItszuBot) reported

    overwatch, but you can actually see that no, it really is just an absurdist hell that we're all just conditioned to accept, and attempts to fix this (open office plans, etc) have just dug it deeper

  • julhapl julia!!! (@julhapl) reported

    unlike overwatch where they have different measurements to level up classes (for example, support is measured by assists and heal), in valorant everyone is measure by killing amount so this would only cause more problems

  • KiheitaiHibana Hiba/thumlu🏓 (@KiheitaiHibana) reported

    I just won an Overwatch competitive game lagging for the entire 16 minutes of that match

  • Ayece_ AyC (@Ayece_) reported

    @ThemurlocTwits @bpk428 @vengeful_vadam Plot twist, a live service game doesn't have a complete state, it's continously evolving, hence Infinite. Frankly, compared to most similar type games, Halo has it well and not ridiculous expensive like Valorant or Overwatch. Halo also does more than 1 map per season.

  • sombra690 Seraphine Main (@sombra690) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Fix overwatch

  • fknwlknprdx Tyranny 🏳️‍⚧️ (@fknwlknprdx) reported

    I need to fix my sleep schedule just so I don't have to wait 20 minutes for a game if overwatch

  • ShieldsMCMXCIX Szymon Shields (@ShieldsMCMXCIX) reported

    So I just got kicked due to inactivity even though I was moving. Definitely no bugs in this game or any issues @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch

  • peticuliarbooks cami (@peticuliarbooks) reported

    Donc ma switch fait crash overwatch et ilS ME SUSPENDENT ????

  • Time_Phantom18 Time Phantom of Christmas Future (@Time_Phantom18) reported

    Gonna stream today around 1:30; probably play some Pokemon for a while before swapping to Overwatch cause I need my salt fix

  • NGaming88 KLG NobleWarrior88#MediaKitsPartner (@NGaming88) reported

    @usaOW_ @JJ_Builds When you fight 4v5 because tanks just W key, supports die instantly etc it absolutely can be a teammate issue. Overwatch isn’t COD

  • ConspiracyVinyl VINYLTHEWRITER🏳️‍⚧️✍️🎨 (@ConspiracyVinyl) reported

    The issue with tracers design #Overwatch2 is that its just an over designed mess of lines and colours, and it strips alot of the personality Can barely tell she was part of a flight program, shes lost more of that aero dynamic look, the best part bout the overwatch 2 design is-

  • Veilynne Veilynne (@Veilynne) reported

    Twitter algorithm making sure you see that an Overwatch streamer you don't care about hates playing the game. No wonder they tweet like a broken record about it when it's so favoured by this site.

  • Pantros1 Brandon/Pantros (@Pantros1) reported

    Shoutout to overwatch for eliminating Loot boxes. Top 3 worst decision they’ve made and it’s not number three or two. Pretty sure the way they can get around the “gambling” issue is by RELEASING THE RATES of the items, it’s how gacha games get around that problem

  • badgunpla badgunpla 💖💛💙 (@badgunpla) reported

    @Braiden_Krahn The problem is it had nothing new to add to the dying-off hero shooter genre - it was literally just Overwatch with a Gundam skin and less Bobby Kotick. Which is objectively a good thing, but still.

  • domsoepic Dom (@domsoepic) reported

    @CuestarVideos i had a guy come over and fix my broken blinds and i was just playing overwatch 2 giving comms the entire time bc i kept forgetting he was there

  • jaymarvel Jay Marvel - 18+ ADULT Art 🔞 - Rob Lucci Stan (@jaymarvel) reported

    There must be more to Overwatch discourse on twitter than just getting outplayed by a character and calling them broken/OP lol.

  • ChasersFrame FrameChasers (@ChasersFrame) reported

    @TGDefinition This is a COD bro problem, and also why they won’t touch games like apex or overwatch eventhough they are far far superior games. But take 10x more effort to learn. Youl often hear terms like “boots on the ground” as denial terms

  • alanpico Alan (@alanpico) reported

    @thiccyITguy @jopankocho The fix is uninstalling valorant and playing overwatch 2 with me :)

  • dasnoob1 kai (@dasnoob1) reported

    People always say to me: " They are just trolls ignore them." Somehow i do find it oddly satisfying to report people and get a notification that "actions" are taken care. LoL, Overwatch, Reddit. It seems that not only myself see´s that there was a issue so does others too..

  • DJ_WHOAGAIN DJ_LOONIE (@DJ_WHOAGAIN) reported

    Another reason I hate @Overwatch is because they lie, they said they were gonna fix the whole reporting system but ain’t nothing changed! I’ve been getting called so many slurs game after game after game even my friends. And after I report the players I play with them next day

  • TeskaBudala Totalni Kreten (@TeskaBudala) reported

    @ElliottVenczel @WarcraftDevs dont worry, they dont know how to fix this problem of leavers in overwatch 2 as well since it came out 6 years ago.

  • Helramma Nichelle (@Helramma) reported

    is anyone else having problems with #overwatch I can't get a game on console?

  • bigboost8606 Joseph Raymond (@bigboost8606) reported

    @WBGamesSupport Thank you. I never had an issue until this evening when I got on the PC. So after trying, I played some Halo and Overwatch 2,, even rebooted MK11 multiple times. I turned off my firewall to he safe, I have all my saved data n even previous matches and streak, just can't find ne1

  • cendriel_ Ginna (@cendriel_) reported

    @ValorINTEL Overwatch started as a non-locking role type of gameplay. It got really bad , everyone started to complaint. so they introduced role lock. It seems that the valorant community doesn’t have any issues at this point so it wouldn’t make sense to bring it to Val

  • EyeOnHellWorld Mr. Fantastic (@EyeOnHellWorld) reported

    @baitedinput Thats actually nice to hear, i thought it would have a bunch of problems and suck but if i had the money i might buy it. Also yeah ive been playing overwatch on the switch and fps games on controllers suck a lot more *** than i remember

  • hotpocketpapiii Roy (@hotpocketpapiii) reported

    @Bugzvii There was plenty of content in the beginning …when the game was playable for almost every match, the issue is that this **** feel way the hell off so there no point in making content for a game that not getting an real buzz vs overwatch or SSB.

  • VelvetFrost97 Monkii (@VelvetFrost97) reported

    @Xbox_Series_XS I prefer Playstation over Xbox, but I genuinely hope this acquisition goes through. So Microsoft can fix all the issues with Activision and Blizzard and hopefully make Overwatch 2 not suck complete ***.

  • HaxtonIsCool Hisuin Nidoking (@HaxtonIsCool) reported

    @Reptilligator It's the Pudge Problem when Dota2 came out. Either more hard initiators are needed or more hard counters. But you can't really mana drain people or gold starve him in Overwatch. So it's a mysterrrryyyy
